I've said it before... a man who cuts his own wood warms himself twice. Nice gear sir. Great vid drive on

That splitter is so safe you could let your "workers" earn pocket money using it without you worrying! Such a lovely video, really brought a smile to my face, thanks.

Agree, log splitting is absolute therapy, great video Adrian

I could watch you split wood for hours! Very therapeutic! Keep up with the great videos! Stay safe!

can see you take great pleasure in your work and the farm is so clean. Stay safe 👍 👍

Fantastic Adrian! Nothing like splittin logs for a bit of therapy! 👍🏻👍🏻🪵🪵

It’s great to see everything done right. Life is so much simpler.

Brilliant work Adrian , love your videos

I did 30 tattie boxes over summer with a home made splitter. Totally agree about it being a relaxing job. Verging on theraputic.

Always look forward to the weekly vlog, quality content and its always a pleasure to watch. Thank you 🍻

I bought all my stihl equipment 22 years ago and never had any problems with them. Always start on the first pull all these years later,

A super looking splitter. The tipsy bin for the the blocks is a right good idea.

Great video again 👍good to see the girl's helping.

That tipsy fin is a great design

I love how the dogs just chill out and watch without a care of what your doing. Always the best type of dogs :)

Now thats a beast of a set up for timber, I'll be thinking of that the next time I'm out with the axe and buckets😁

Great video as always ur a great man to keep everything tidy 😀

Great video. Really enjoyed it.

Great video, that was mine and my brothers job, cutting sticks for the range, good memories, sort of!

Great video adrian that's A mighty Log splitter It makes Light work of them Logs

Great vid Adrian love watching, your farm and equipment is a credit to you

That log chopper is bloody awesome mate!! Makes it so much easier

Top setup there Adrian good stuff

Absolutely love watching your channel, reminds me of when I used to help out on the farm just down the lane from us near Workington in West Cumbria. 👍

Great video again and well impressed with the log splitter it's a great machine. Such a tidy farm it's a credit to you .

Looks a fine tool ! 👍

That's a real tasty bit of brick paving at the house Adrian, it's a very tidy house.

Hi Adrian, agree with you re ms170....Great piece of kit....bought one last year to reduce an overgrown hedge and it is a fantastic little saw.

Another great video well done 🚜

Brillant log splitter & video yes Safety number 1 👍

Thats a great splitter Adrian nice and safe aswell

Great Video always, all content well explained clearly. most of all honestly!!

Know the feeling Adrian, satisfying work, great vid, thanks as always.

Another cracking video 👌👌

Another really enjoyable video. One suggestion for anyone burning timber, get a moisture meter. An extra 6 months seasoning might make the difference between 20% and 15% no comparison while burning. Totally different heat output.

Brilliant video as always

thanks for the vid adrian

Greetings from Canada. Great video.

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

We’re around half way through calving ourselves, I woke up this morning and there was a surprise standing out in the slats and he wasn’t supposed to come for another couple of weeks luckily enough he was up and had sucked

Very good job all round ,friend of mine once was using log splitter like yours but with a foot pedal,had his hands on top of the log being split,fingers slightly in cracks,, and yes you guessed it,cracks slowly closed,lost four finger tips,,,loved seeing the choc lab out with you,reminded me of my best mate,lost him at the age of 5yrs,,seizures,was getting them badly.keep up the interesting work/jobs.

Great video Adrian

Great video Adrian!.. the 895 is looking smart with her new shoes 👌🏻

Great video Adrian! Keep up the good work!👍👍👏

Class content nice log splitter

Great video as always Adrian. Keep up the good work

That log splitter looks the job, considering getting one, might enquire about one next week. Get yourself a pair of chainsaw boots/shoes if you haven't already got some, then you'll have all the safety gear.

Big Stihl fan as well. My first saw was the 039 Farm Boss. Then I picked up the 391 when I had a 2 saw job coming up, and followed that up with the arborist saw. I also have the complete Combi set of tools with an 095, and a 130 power head.

I have ms 181, similar size to the 171 and they do go through a serious amount of work with minimal effort. Have 391 on order for the bigger stuff. Splitter is a beast and is on the wish list. I have a wee electric 7 tonne, grand for now but need an upgrade soon 🙏

Good video and keep up the good work

Great video as always

Great video 👍

Farmer p would be the man who would recommend a good saw especially when he runs a tree surgeon business.👍

Great video again , Great to see the helpers out 😂😂

Love the vid adrian

You have a nice rhythm going handy device love your fam can't wait till next Sunday you keep it well thanks

Very nice video Adrian 😄

Smashing video Adrian, really enjoyed it. Might invest in a log splitter myself, that 1 looks a right job

Another great video!

I’ve a 170 aswell great little yokes. The boys in Donegans are sound as a pound and rapid delivery ill be buying off them again in future ! Great video lad 🤙🏻

Another good one.

Thanks for a great video adrian all thanks to yourself looks like the ms170 will be my first chainsaw.

Awesome video 😃

I love the video keep doing what your doing

Forget to say, another fantastic video mate

Adrian,timbercroc have one that works on the 3 point linkage of a tractor,great job as you can raise it up to the desired height so saves bending the back.

Very nice splitter💪💪

The bins are great job we have 4 of different make but only job cattle in winter and feeding calves in summer the lot splitter is beast

Thanks 👍🏻

Nice video mate, great to see the girls helping out, and great to see your channel flying ahead, not that I’m surprised mind, you have become another great ambassador for Irish farming. Great job. 🙂👍

Nice splitter l like it keep up the good work and your filming I'm looking forward to the body warmers

Great video, really enjoying your channel. One potential problem I can see with that splitter is if the wedge/blade gets wedged or caught in a log and lifts with it on the return stroke could it come up and bend the handles or worse trap your hand if it was on the handle, maybe there should be a guard to stop a log coming up to meet the handle. I know it would want to be well stuck into a knot or a twist but it could happen. Other than that it looks like a great bit of kit and well built.

Tom Pemberton gave you a mention so thought I'd pop in, 👍+🔔

Good work.... ur well kitted out for the sticks now. Ifarm Wefarm lumber jacks on the way 👌👍.

You've got to love it! Your 150 hp $200k log splitter beats it all, and a 2nd tractor to haul it. One usually starts with a cheap usually free, wood stove to save heating costs, well maybe create a cosy mood. Then a chain saw and the clothing. Now one needs a cheap pickup truck to haul the timber. Then comes the winch to drag out this cheap source of heat from the woods, most of the trees are in swampy areas and only when the ground freezes can you get in there. Cable too short, a cheap tractor to drag out the logs is needed. The wood lot is too far from the house to drive the tractor so a trailer is needed to haul the tractor, but it can also carry logs, good idea. You now have 8foot logs piled 4feet high and 50-100 feet along your fence line, neighbours complain to the local authorities. Get it out of sight you are told. Right, cut the logs into average stove lengths, 16-24" stove dependent, and split and stack them. where? No problem, apply for a building permit and build a wood shed or why not, a future garage. Splitting is such a chore, our logs are much bigger and so many more of them than yours that we need not only a wood splitter but why not get a wood processor for just a few thousand dollars more, then, firewood could be sold from the end of the driveway. You can see how far this can continue to go on. I haven't seen any large rows of logs at your beautiful place, nor have I seen a firewood for sale sign at your farm gate. My hat's off to you, you are ahead of the game, well done. I hear that there is money to be made in wood pellets, will your splitter also press out pellets?

What a nice machine

The splitter is the job for sure ,the big table is handy I agree because you know on a cold night you will be snug as a bug 😜

Great video Adrian, a fine log splitter, just a idea, ur hose connections to tractor, if u put the return a non-restricted return, (not through valve chest) on massey's there's place's to put in fittings, non-restricted returns will save external chest on log splitter. Mechanic told me to do it years ago, I put one on for my tractors for log splitter, road sweeper n hedgecutter.

I have a few log splitters but that’s a Cracking log splitter for safety (great for farm hands) and I been using Stihl for a life time & have a lot of them from ms880 72” bar, right down to wee 009 12” bar, they are the BEST saws out there 💪👍👍

I agree Adrian. I cut a fair bit of hardwood for our 2 stoves. I have a big saw and a smaller mid range one. I use my MS 231 for most of my stuff but when I've got some real heavy stuff, out comes my big girl. Husky 365, brilliant saw and hasn't missed a beat in 15 years....but heavy! 💪

How's things a least u got out to cut the timber it's been raining here all week 😡 love your videos and your work ethic. Yr farm is spotless 👌👍🇮🇪

Adrian: What good information on the chain saws! Can you show us how you sharpen the blades? How about lubrication for the blades? Oh MAN, making noise and taking things apart :-) Love it!!! So well organized. Oh that log splitter is a jewel!!! And the tipsy bin next to it. It is like a production-line in a factory. Love the music with it. Still have not made a tether for the pin, I see. You wouldn't have to be putting it in your pocket if you did. What a wonderful video. God bless you, Adrian. So much fun to watch.

Great vid

Great video again Adrian ! And you’re right a lot of lads are with you from the start of the channel 🥳

Again great Video, can't believe bit about green lid.a bit of colour is great to brighten up things.

Well done grate job solid wood splitting is grate. Ad for some one that is still using ax and wellbarrow. Have no fire myself so only get heat once miss nicole is like shadow hope she follows you in farming not afraid ofwork. Stay safe 👍

Great video Adrian, I love the small details which you go into and all the equipment you have and the jobs you do. It’s the detail that makes all the difference. I look forward to your videos and you’re a credit to the Irish farming community. Keep up the good work!!👍🏻

Adrian great video. When you put those big rings on the splitter you’ll see why the single lever is the best. Another thing I noticed with yours is the splitter wedge is about half as thick as the malone log splitter is highly recommend you make that wedge wider and the splitting will be way more easier than it is now.. I really enjoy your videos I’m a mayo man living in California. Stay safe and god bless. 🙏

Another quality video as usual. I'd suggest having the log splitter raised level with the tipsy bin and then all you'd have to do is push / swipe the logs into the bin rather than lifting them all the time. That bit higher would also be better on the back. Bit higher to lift logs onto though, I'd admit. Cracking machine all the same.

Looks like a savage bit of kit plenty of heat in ur house ....heat you a few times !!! Super video again.just goes to show a bit of investment takes the hardship outta most jobs

So easy to use. Safety first always as you say! Thank you for sharing. 🇮🇪🐄🐄😷👍🇺🇸

Looks like a class piece of kit that Adrian. Don't know if Rocky could have handled Drago if he'd used one of them for training instead of his axe! By the way, that tip you shared for pouring can of Guinness👌

With our electric splitter we got a 4 way splitter that 1 pass will do with the smaller logs super job

Hi It always makes me chuckle when you watch American videos comparing 2 very similar saws cutting through 30 inch+ logs What does that matter just do it safely

we just bought a stihl 362

That’s some log splitter I know now what one I’m going to purchase

Log splitter is a great bit of kit A. I'm more a husqy man but each to their own...great vlog

I love the videos. Just something that occurred to me- I saw you repositioning some of the logs, would it be an idea to paint a line (like a crosshairs) on the table/ deck to help with positioning smaller blocks?

My da has a stlhl ms 180 he loves it

Mükemmel hocam
